we spoke to the president last night, senator schumer and hi a conversation with him. tomorrow he will be making a statement in nevada about immigration. he's committed to immigration reform. he's committed to fixing this system. he told us that what we're setting out to do is generally consistent with what he wants to see done, but he did tell us get it done. don't let this drag out again. seize the moment and move forward with it. well, we have that chance, mr. president. we've got to do it. we've got to do it because this nation of immigrants, this nation that will still attract immigrants needs a legal system that works for those who are here and those who want to come here. we have got to make sure that we are sensitive to the fact that americans should receive the first preference for jobs, and that will be included in our bill, but also beyond that, jobs that some americans don't want. in agriculture, for example, and in other areas. we need some people coming in to help, and they can be part of this immigration reform as well. mr. president, i yield the floor.
